The food is delicious, I ordered the #4 combo which is a nice brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans and a soda, they actually offer many different options for the sides such as fried Okra, and much mire. I've tried the Okra before and it was fabulous, this time the baked beans caught my eye and my tastebuds were pleased. All their good is very tasty and fresh. Service is good as they prepare your hot plate as you order it. The place smell wonderful if not intoxicating, lol. (New menu posted) The owner Jay just put out these beautiful new menus with discounted prices! He even gave me $3.00 back after I was charged old prices! Thanks Jay and company, great food at a great price! Come see Jay and his crew, and enjoy the ice cream! read more

After my initial Yelp review, they asked me to reach out. I sent them an email in which they asked me to explain the situation. All communication stopped when they asked me for a receipt number and I'd let them know that it likely had been thrown away but they had cameras they could check that possibly had a time stamp (given it was about 11:30 that day, info they already had, they could just use that info too). Management reached out for information rather than provide an explanation or solution. Over 5 emails were sent back and forth for really no reason. The point we reached was based on a weak effort towards customer engagement. Food was mediocre at best but given the experience I will not be coming back. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Lancaster - $10 extra for this side of meat. Originally told a potato was $20 with or without meat then charged $30 for potato. - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

The flavors! And great service! We had the loaded baked potato and chef was happy to modify it as I am lactose intolerant, put the sour cream on the side because my wife isn't! We got the original bbq sauce and found that if you drizzled a little on the loaded potato made the flavors sparkle. The brisket was tender and delicious. The cheddar jalapeño sausage was too tempting and I did have a couple bites, the casing snapped when bit into and slice level was perfect. The pork ribs were tender and Smokey. We also got collard greens which were cooked to the perfect tenderness, candied sweet potatoes which were not too sweet and flavored with cinnamon, and coleslaw which was pretty basic. I added a bit of bbq sauce to the coleslaw and it improved the flavor. Free soft serve for dessert! Great food, excellent service, we willl be back! read more

Very disappointing experience at Dickey's Barbecue in Lancaster today. My brother and I went there for lunch and were given a printed lunch menu. We selected a stuffed baked potato listed at $15.95 and a meat entrée with two sides listed at $23.95. Based on the advertised prices, our food should have totaled $39.90 before tax. When we got to the register, however, the total was $81.95--more than double what we expected. When I questioned the amount, an employee said those menu prices "don't exist" and told us to look at the menu board on the wall. We checked the board, and it showed the same prices as the printed menu! I asked for the manager, who initially seemed reluctant to identify himself and then said something along the lines of, "I'm something like that." When I explained that the restaurant should honor its posted prices and update the menus instead of misleading customers, he refused. Another employee blamed the difference on inflation. The manager then stated that he didn't have "a thousand dollars" to replace the menus. That response was completely unprofessional. Inflation does not excuse advertising one price on both the printed menu and the wall, then attempting to charge customers a completely different amount at the register. Instead of apologizing, clearly explaining the charges, or trying to resolve the issue, the manager became dismissive. At that point, we canceled our order and left. As we were walking out the door, we saw one of the employees grab a chair and a Sharpie and begin attempting to change the prices on the menu board. That action only confirmed that the prices displayed when we placed our order were incorrect and needed to be changed. The whole vibe and energy was very unprofessional. They lost our business--not simply because of the pricing discrepancy, but because of the way the entire situation was handled. I also plan to report this matter to the City of Lancaster and the Better Business Bureau because customers should not be shown one price and charged a completely different price at the register. Please check the posted prices and review your receipt carefully before paying at this location. This is the owner's response to my review on Yelp and several more responses too long to post. So sad and very unprofessional.... The owner's response: I'm gonna do something that I know I'm going to regret but for the first time in a long time I'm gonna be honest with you, but you're going to take as me being disrespectful and rude most likely but the truth is the truth. Here we go let me clear my throat again. I know you're gonna call me rude but you need an honest answer and here's the truth. We just got those print menus, which was also matching the board most of the board I was concerned was corrected. However, the menus which came no less than a month ago was incorrect on the price. The guy who did the Menu refused to fix the prices claiming all sales are final the permit menus cost us $1200. The rent for this week is 9000 after deducting payroll 4000 for the lights 1000 for the gas my account was so low. I could not afford to pay for those changing the menu. I know this is gonna come off as me being rude. You probably rather me tell you a lie than the truth. When you came in the first thing you said was you were going to report us that's harsh and I said that you could do it's up to you, but you have to take responsibility in accountability for your responses. Initially, you weren't very happy and you were in my opinion, highly upset and threatening at one point I noticed it's gonna probably angry you even more than me saying that but attitude run both ways. At this point, and after this confrontation which never happened here before they started taking a marker and scratching off the menus manually there's probably about 5000 menus so it's gonna be a long time to get to One, but they are doing it as we speak because we never was threatened and treated so harshly like that so good news is they are manually writing in the menu on the paper menu I certainly do apologize for the pricing but accountability does go both ways in if you just look back how upset you were and the words you used in the first thing they scream I'm not gonna support a black business or this way, I get for supporting a black business when truthfully, we're just a business who has to pay to stay alive and chose to pay the rent. Anyways, I apologize again. I hope you have a blessed day. I know this is not gonna be something you want to hear because most likely you want me to tell you I'm sorry sorry sorry sorry but to be honest we told you at the restaurant financial reasons why we couldn't change the menu yet, but we were waiting to get more money to change that menu cause the last thing you wanna do is upset a guest be blessed. So many messages in my DM, I had to block him or her. read more

Recently went and Josue was working hard and exemplified great customer service. They were short staffed but the food was good.

Management of order taking is not their strong suit. There was lots of confusion in the kitchen and could not keep track of orders. I stood in line for 10 mins and walked out as I informed the cook (not cashier) I only wanted to order one side. read more

First, let me start off by saying that I have been a residence of Lancaster Palmdale for almost 30 years. I have come to love every opportunity of trying new barbecue spots within the new valley and there are a few. I recall when Dickey's first opened in Lancaster. I visited a couple of times and the food was decent. However, my visit to Dickey's yesterday was one of the worst experiences I've had with any barbecue place in this city. I ordered à la cart. Smoked sausage and brisket along with the double order fries and a drink. My total was $44.00 (which I believe is a little on the high side). When I receive my order, I noticed that the portions were very small and the link and brisket appeared to be very dry after biting into the sausage my belief was confirmed so I didn't try to brisket which was looked the same. After contemplating for a few minutes, if I should bring this up to the Manager's attention, l flagged down a gentleman that was passing by (who was actually the gentleman that prepared my food) , I requested to speak to a manager His response was that he didn't know if the manager was there. He addressed the issue to a young lady that was at the cash register which appeared to be annoyed by the request. A few minutes later a gentleman appeared from the back of the kitchen and asked if I needed to speak with him. I said yes if you're the manager, he indicated that he was so I showed him the briskets slices and the sausage as it appeared on my plate. He immediately said that the brisket looked terrible and he would remake it for me, however he he made no mention of replacing the sausage after waiting a few minutes he did return with a small black plastic container and placed it in front of me, I opened the container to observe three slices of brisket that mirrored the one's prior with the exception that it appeared that it had been dipped in some type of juice. I close the plastic box finished up my fries and left the restaurant. I want to say that I have and always will be a supporter of Lancaster Palmdale restaurants, but the way this situation was handled left me rather perplexed instead of addressing the issue I feel that it was simply masked. I would hope that in the future that would be a greater concern for your customers. The reality is we are the ones that makes or breaks your business. read more

A small and quaint BBQ spot, this is a nice quick place to get your fix in. Price - $$$ Quality - 3 Ambiance - 2 Portions - 4 Cleanliness - 4 BBQ is tasty but storing it in saran wrap to keep moist is not preferred. The stuffed baked potato is amazing to eat and large by far. The price seems a tad high. The drink size are generous and great. Overall a quick spot to fill your BBQ needs. read more

I just ordered from this place and the customer service was cool. I asked for burnt end "rib tips" for anyone who knows how to bbq. It was my fault for not checking the food before leaving. I got home and all I had was a lot of brisket which was ok and my other two side orders. When I called back to tell them I didn't have my rib tips the , guy told me that burnt ends to them is any meat, wth. After some back and forth and them not wanting to admit my order was wrong, he had the nerve to tell me I can order more food. After more back and forth, they offered me "3" rib tips. After spending over $30 to have a messed up order I wish I spend another dime at this place. read more

Way too overpriced. Ordered 1 brisket sandwich combo, 3 rib combo, and 1 brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. Total was about $85 , I was overcharged. The sandwiches were small and the Mac and cheese were cold and disgusting. The air conditioning wasn't working , so it's was hot and uncomfortable. The soft serve machine wasn't working either . Floors were dirty too . If I could rate this , it would have no stars . Will never come back to this establishment again . read more

The "Homemade Dressing" is a fraud. Im BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK from Harlem, New York. My southern grandparents taught me how to make dressing. That wasnt dressing at Dickeys. That was boxed Stove top STUFFING mix. A "follow these easy steps" on a box mix. And to keep it fair. It does say "homemade" vs "from scratch " on the menu so please do not order it if you like good FROM SCRATCH dressing. Order it if you like boxed meals that taste like depression and box. read more

We ordered food for delivery this last Saturday night and we were so disappointed. I ordered a 3 meat combo and was shocked at how small the portions were for each choice. At first I thought food was missing. Then I realized all 3 of my meat choices fit in a single entree section of my to-go box. In my photo I had moved the brisket over to one of the smaller sections. I got barely two slices of brisket, a small scoop of pulled pork, and just 2 ribs. The 3 meat combo costs $35. The food tastes fine but the meal felt like such a rip off. Our total bill was over $100 for two combos and a kids meal, and we could have spent that elsewhere and had leftovers for the next day at least. So disappointing. Gave one star because the food at least tasted good. Just wish we'd gotten our money's worth. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Lancaster - 3 meat combo with sliced brisket, pulled pork, and pork ribs. The photo makes the portion look more generous than it was. Not worth $35. - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

Went to get lunch with the family and I feel like they up charge to the most possible. Spent $45 for a 2 meat plate & drink... on the menu it said it was $30 so not sure how it was up charged that much. Also while there they got a delivery from smart and final of frozen fries and canned beans. So they're charging all of that money just to not even have food made in house. Pretty ridiculous. read more

Its been awhile since I visited this place. I went today to order 2 brisket sandwiches and a side of okra and mac&cheese. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get food to go. There's not a lot of customers it's just there are only 2 employees working. I don't blame the employees they are doing their best. I think the owner should hire more employees, you are losing customers for the long wait. read more

Awful just awful, I ordered 2 plates and my Mac n cheese is oily and stuck as a ball, the cheese is not even melted and it's so bad, food portion is so little compared to what I payed, my worst experience with a food establishment honestly, I will never order from here ever again. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Lancaster - This is apparently the 3 Meat Plate... what a joke - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

The food was very disappointing. The meat was dry, and honestly the beans were the only thing that stood out as good. For the price, I expected much better quality. Portions are extremely small--they weigh everything, so you definitely feel like you're not getting your money's worth. I would personally skip this place and make the trip out to Santa Clarita if you're looking for real BBQ. read more

A friend and I stopped into Dickie's barbecue. I had a barbecued brisket sandwich. I was under the impression I got to sides with that. But I think they added it all up as à la carte. The food was absolutely perfection. But the prices are way too steep for me. The potato salad was to die for. And the beans were so good. The brisket was cooked to perfection. It was so soft. The portions were great. I got to have it for dinner that night also. So so good. read more

Terrible service and food . Not satisfied at all. The food presentation was bad . I would NOT recommend this place.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Lancaster - Receipt - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

This place has the feel of a one great barbecue shop. We came all the way out from Orange County to see a show at transitions brewery. I'd heard about dickies and was really excited to come try their food. The location is suspicious, and a little disappointing. There were people waiting for food so that was encouraging. The brisket, and the ribs were both quite good, although the ribs were a touched dry, and that surprised me. I look forward to giving the dickies in Buena Park. Another try before I chuck this one up to experience. I heard a lot about dickies, and maybe my expectations were a little too high, but they definitely were marginally met. A great experience all in alland a must do, before it's too late. read more

I ordered wings, and per the menu (which was hung up in a convoluted, patch-work sort of collage) they were supposed to be "pit smoked". The server then proceeded to put some, what I assume to be frozen, wings into a deep fryer. When I asked about the fact that their menu said something different - pit smoked and not deep fried wings, the server was of absolutely no help, and just said something to the effect of "that's just how we cook them". The prices were crazy high, and I can only imagine, based on my limited experience, what the other dishes served may be like. Why would I come to a BBQ place to get fried wings at premium prices? The look of that crazy menu is all you need to know about the lack of care this place has for itself. It was an absolutely awful experience, and I will never return. read more

So I came to Dickeys for some commercial style bbq to see if I was missing anything. After looking online at the menu, I decided to drive over and order in person which I was glad I did. This place only has two people working there lucky they weren't that busy so I looked over the menu and saw that they had beef ribs, but I thought it was beef plate ribs but it's beef back ribs, which I ordered still I also ordered a half a rack of pork rib, ribs, and a side of what they call barbecue baked beans. It was all to go. I paid about $46-$50 for the Whole shooting match so when I got home, I was really excited about eating it even though I did not smell any smoke which worried me but I also didn't smell that much smoke when I walked inside, which is also a sign usually but I wanted to try them and so when I got home, still no smoky smell or aroma the pork ribs were fall off the bone had a slight pepper flavor and salt, but no smoky flavor. The beef back rib also was seasoned pretty good. They had a slight smoky flavor, but I would rather both of those needs to have a stronger smoke year Hickory. I believe they use aroma now the barbecue baked beans did not taste like barbecue. They did not taste baked. They tasted exactly like pork and beans. I was very disappointed in that. I probably will not be going to any other dickies restaurant ever again. I think I've seen enough and tasted enough. I do not recommend this place. The service there was nice. read more

$105 on 6 ribs, half pound of brisket, 2 large sides, 1 small side. Took 45 minutes to order and another 20 minutes to recieve my food. I would of left but I couldn't find any other BBQ place nearby. I haven't eaten here in 5 years and decided to give it another try. The ribs 3 out of 5, Brisket 3.5 out of 5. Potato salad 2 out of 5 because why is it sweet. Macaroni and cheese 3 out of 5. Baked Beans literally tasted like canned beans doctored up 2 out of 5. Got half way home when I looked into the bag and realized there was NO BBQ sauce inside, had to turn around...Why was there 4 employees working on the 4th of July and the line wrapped inside? Not worth the price. read more

First off, the customer service in this place has improved a great deal from a year ago. They are rather generous with the meat portions. The sides are small but are pretty good. Today, a Sunday I ordered the Pork Chop dinner, the chops were made fresh to order and for the sides, I got yams , and macaroni and cheese. To my surprise, because I purchased a dinner, I got a kids meal free. I chose the pulled pork with macaroni and cheese. We had ice cream cones while we waited. From the time we placed our order, until we left with our food was about 20 minutes. The food was fresh and hot, and we were not disappointed. read more

Stopped by on our way home from Mammoth. Food was delicious, hot, and they were very customer service forward. We shared a two meat plate with sliced brisket and pork ribs.

I want to give a shout-out to our Chef Eric Turner for the exceptional customer service! Thanks for a great meal! There was no wait and we were able to get right back on the road home! read more

My first time coming to this place, and I was not impressed with the food I brought! I brought 2 sizes and Peach Cobbler Pie. The Mac n cheese seem dried out and not cheesey. Candy hams seemed a bit watered down! They need to add more sugar, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and marinate the ingredients a lot longer so the ingredients can fuse together! The Peach cobbler pie had a harsh after taste that made it very hard to swallow the first bite! Whatever they put in the cobbler pie, please do not put the spice back into it again! Thank God for my bean pie cause I was very disappointed of the product portion, cost, and the pie it self! I guess it's hard to find good and quality Soul Food in a Desert away from the LA City! The 2 sizes and cobbler pie were a total of $28.63 for poor made soul food and dessert! I paid 9.68 for the Chinese food, which turned out to be a proactive decision given that many sistahs and brothas have their own spin on Soul Food! , read more

Where do I start the food or the customer service? Let's start with the customer service. It was rude and attentive, passive aggressive just plain nasty and rude. That start with the food. The macaroni was dry. It was just cheese and just noodles. The pulled pork look like it was boiled with no seasoning The money and the price is that you're paying here. The customer service should be better. The food should be better than environment. Should be more happy and pleasant. I'm never coming back again. read more

Ordered to go. Food was awful. Mac and Cheese was a solid ball of noodles with cold cheese on top. Jalapeño cheddar Kabasa was just sausage with no jalapeño or cheddar. The brisket was supposed to be sliced brisket however it was more of a shredded fatty tissue. And the brisket chili was just spicy chili with no brisket in it. ($31) I also had a loaded baked potato with extra toppings and items on it, and it came with barely anything on it with a little bit of cheese, butter, and sour cream. Not worth the $26. Never again. read more
